Gyroplane - Strawberry Hill USA - Chesnee, SC
Owned an AutoGyro Calidus and regularly flew the lake district in the UK. The flying club took week long trips out to Scotland every year, and we would be 10 gyros strong, like some mad sky biker gang! Best days of my life! I had to sell my baby in 2017, due to financial strain.. Also, I passed my general flying test on the day the Icelandic volcano erupted and grounded all commercial aviation, but not us crazy gyronauts!
@@cliddily motorcycles of the sky!
We saw you! We saw you take off like a rocket too. Edit: We are in this video underneath the tail of the B-25.
@@Barleywine14 it was a fun day!
Looks fun 😂
Juan de la Cierva invented this...
Living the dream!!!
I hope you enjoyed your time in our little city and we cant wait to have you back❤
Amazing video. Is there someplace in Lexington SC where I can learn to fly a gyroplane? I have no air-time unfortunately . . .
@@kevinh.7566 not that I know of. GA, AL, FL and MD are the closest.
@@bendavis3194 Thanks anyway. Don't think I'd ever be able to get my wife in one of these anyway. She wants a small camper van to travel - I want a gyroplane. Oh well . . .
@@kevinh.7566 look for the semiannual gyro gatherings at Anson County Airport, NC. Fun to watch.
Really nice video, I enjoyed it. I wish there had been some captions on this one.
What did you do to get 115 out of your 912 ULS? I'm looking for a reliable mod for mine.
Big bore upgrade.
@@bendavis3194 any problems with it? My Rotax tech doesn’t care for them but I’m not sure why.
No, but I've only got ~75 hrs on the engine.
This looks like good fun, I think I will do my licence
Nice flight and great vacation.
Gorgeous!
Absolutely gorgeous day! Also, great music.
Is this a dumb question…Do you need to file a flight plan and/or talk with air traffic control along the way? I hope my naivety isn’t too obvious!
@@hubbysswee ATC, not unless entering controlled airspace. Flight plan, no. But I did, and do, for safety when people aren't waiting at the destination.
I am watching from somalia i like apilot
VFR over the top? Gutsy move, Mav.
Nice clouds 😊
What clouds?
@@bendavis3194 there was one?
Outstanding views of Charleston Ben. One of your best yet
What, you wouldnt get me up in that, I'm not brave enough, wonderful men in their flying machine !
One day I will learn to fly gyros, don't have anyone near me that teaches
Amazing video! Best aerial tour of the Charleston area I’ve ever seen. I would like to have seen text labels identifying some of the special places you went past.
Good idea! Watch again and turn on the captions (CC button).
@@bendavis3194 - I did watch it again with the captions on. That is what I was hoping for, nice to know what the things are I am looking at, thanks. I like flying but I don’t think I would be comfortable being as exposed as I would be in the gyro. Do you have an ‘N’ number and ADS-B out? I’d like to see the altitudes and speeds you are flying.
A perfect music 🎶 🎵 👌 for the flight!!!❤
Nice video, I sure miss flying my Gyro. But good seeing others enjoying it.
Only faux pas , its not the Confederate Air Force anymore - they went political correct years ago to Commemorative Air Force, which IMO, changed the entire image of the group and lossed membership.
Crowders mountain . Good views.
I wondered what that prominent feature was. Someone ran to the edge of a rock face to wave at me going by!
Hi Ben. Very nice video where you use the capabilities of the 360 well. I have some X3 footage from last year and your work makes me want to do another, better video of my footage. I also fly a MTO Sport (converted MT-03) with the 914 115 HP engine. It's nice you have the integrated coolers with your 100 HP 912 uls. Ususlly the 912 has a stupid cooler right in front of the propeller. This is much better.
Thanks, Erik. I just watched your Bornholm video with pleasure. Nice to see a terrain that is unique!
Hi Ben, I can't believe how much the PC Airport has grown and the changes made since I was there back in 1984-85. I was the weekend manager. I lived in Easley at the time and worked for the Greenville Hospital System as well as in law enforcement. I am now in Ohio. I'm a commissioner for the Huron County Airport (5A1) located just outside of Norwalk, OH. I fly an AR-1 Gyro. I've been an aircraft private pilot since 1978 but took up the Gyro last year. Would love to fly down to visit sometime. I still have a couple of friends that live in the Easley area. Thanks for the video. Brought back many memories. Great job! Looking forward to seeing more of your videos. Fly safe!
Howdy from Greenville County, Sc. You boys in Pickens County know how to have fun! My 13 year old sons dream is to become a pilot.
Amazing video.. how did u film this?? good music.. well presented .. you deserve an award for this.. I come from Bunbury, a town on the West Coast of Australia.. i used to do a lot of Ultrlight flying.. its an almost identical airport.. brings back memorys
That's very kind. Glad you enjoyed it. I was just teaching a lesson on Aus. and NZ in my classroom. I used an Insta360 One X2. On the outbound flight I used an extendable selfie stick to get the external views. On the return flight I mounted it high on the mast. The phone app or computer app allows you to select the views and effects afterwards. Then you can put the clips together with tunes and transitions in any video software program.
Great video, but not a fan of holding the selfie stick out in the breeze!
The waving…😅
Love the ride through the edge of the clouds!
One of your best videos ever Ben!
Ice camera work in the museum area!
Nice ,❤❤❤ from pakistan
What an enviable dreamful height ❤❤❤
Nice flight Ben, not far from Shelby. I need to fly out to the peach sometime from Shelby.
Great job! I'm almost at the stage to solo mine. I've got an AR-1, Corvette Yellow, with a Rotax 912ULS. Based at 88D, Hinde Airport in Huron, OH. Home of EAA Chapter 50. I hope to fly down to the Charlotte area this coming summer. Maybe I'll head down your way for a visit! Have a Happy New Year!
Sure enjoyed your flight and camera work Ben. It was fascinating to see from the air Hogback, Tryon Peak, and White Oak mountain that I am so familiar with from the ground. Just 3 weeks ago I hiked 8 miles RT on Hogback Mountain Road from near Hoghead Mountain to Hogback. Many Thursdays after being at the St. Luke's infusion center, I drive up Skyuka Mountain Road on to White Oak Mountain Road and back down, hiking at several trails along the way where I photograph butterflies and search for rare Appalachian species of butterflies. Your neighbor Doug Allen
Very nice! Glad you enjoyed it.
Awesome as always. Love the acoustic guitar too!
Do t hit a cow!
Very cool video Ben!
As a long island, NY resident. I find the name of the airpark misleading. What is the history behind naming it that way?
I agree!
Nice!!! love that 360 cam footage too! Great to see the arrival at SC00 Saturday!

Excellent first solo flight! Mine, also on a white MTO classic, was a bit rougher... Our cockpit layout is the same except for the Ritchie compass. I looked for it online but had no luck. Please share a link to it
$50 on Hodgesmarine.com. Ritchie X-21bb Ritchiesport Compass - Dash Mount - Black/Black SKU: RITX-21BB
Sure was a beautiful day!!
Nice to see the new Gyro up and flying!
I love it, great video and it looks like you are enjoying your MTO! Thanks for sharing this video with us Ben
It’s as if I was there myself. Very nice! I’m amazed you didn’t drop it in the water 😂
